Indie/Alternative Review – Page 290

Jasper and the Prodigal Suns – People Get Ready – Review

May 1, 1995

In actuality, the album sounds like G. Love and Special Sauce with a steel drum recorded in a Wheaties box.

INBLU – Sleep Well Patrons of the Arts – Review

May 1, 1995

An interesting blend of ambient art rock and slick pop craft. The hooks are subtle, but long-lasting. The production is fantastic.

Green Apple Quick Step – Reloaded – Review

May 1, 1995

I like Green Apple Quick Step when they play noisy, shitty, simple punk tunes. I hate Green Apple Quick Step when they play introspective acoustic ballads.

Funky Uncle – Review

April 1, 1995

This collection of funk rock lives up to its name. Weird and energetic, this 4-song demo smokes with guitar noodling and funky break-it-downs.

Flop – “Act I Scene I” – Review

April 1, 1995

Flop live up to their name as they release 7 inches of pure pop crap.

Eskimo – Der Shrimpkin – Review

April 1, 1995

Eskimo noodles on a marimba, trombone, and vibes while tossing in everything from circus music clips to nursery rhymes and their own oddball lyrics.

Creedle – Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars – Review

April 1, 1995

While they have surely studied the Crimson bible, they fall short of being a King Crimson for the ’90s. Not for lack of trying.

Crankcase – “Capitol Hill Murder Suicide Pact” – Review

April 1, 1995

From the great liberty state of Pennsylvania comes slow pop that make ’80s bands such as Trixster and Warrant sound new and exciting.

Come – String 10″ – Review

April 1, 1995

String would make a cool instrumental EP even without Thalia Zedek’s strong, disillusioned vocals, which are the icing on the cake.

Combine – Norfolk VA – Review

April 1, 1995

Resplendent with that quaint regional twang, this power trio plays hard, fast and loud.
